I never knew about the National car rental upgrades or the InCircle points at Neiman Marcus. These definitely make the high annual fee a little easier to swallow. Thanks for sharing!

It’s clear, informative, and really demystifies the process of applying for this prestigious card.

Is that the case?

Upto three are included in the $175 anf 4th and on are additional $175 each.

Also, the boingo benefit for discontinued WAY before this article was published.

Do your research carefully before spreading misinformation.

Thank you

Factors luring me.
100,000 bonus offer. That’s nice. But why keep it for subsequent years?
1. Uber/Uber Eats credit of $ 200 year.
2. Great 90 day return policy, up to $ 300 per purchase, regardless of store policies. Amex pays you.
3. Trip cancellation protection can save you big. Award tickets also covered.
4. $ 200 air credit for baggage, if you check baggage. We do.
5. The lounge benefit may be used, depending on layover. We had the Green Card, and a 6 hour layover made this a good benefit.
6. Phone protection of $ 800 per phone.
7. High dollar value purchase protection.
8. TSA fee savings for 1 person.
9. Factors 2 through 8 are the wildcard. They can save you big, or have no value. If you look at it as paying $ 300 for an insurance policy, I deducted the $ 200 Uber credit from the $ 550 fee, it’s probably worth keeping.

Thats what it sounds like. The Amex Centurion Card, otherwise known as “The Black Card” is the original card with 7500 bucks due on the first billing cycle. The Master Card Black Card has a rewards structure that is relatively poor for the AF costs. Its actually ranked just underneath the Venture card in terms of return. The Venture card is only 95 bucks a year though. Unless youre military and getting your AF waived, Id stay clear of the Master Card Black Card. For its annual fee, it should be crushing a similar 95 buck card, but it doesnt. It doesnt even beat the Chase Freedom Unlimited, if you have the Reserve too….and thats a free card.( no AF) If you like it, enjoy it, but consider that its considered a fake Black Card as well. Just stuff to consider about that card :)

Agree. The Amex Platinum easily pays for itself over time if you maximize its benefits.

You have a minimum payment just like other credit cards and the interest rate is 19 or 20%. The card kinda pays for itself with the benefits but I love the card.
